Did Ellen Pompeo take jab at Patrick Dempsey on 'Ellen'?

On Monday's episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," DeGeneres asked Pompeo how things have been on Grey's in the wake of Dempsey's departure towards the end of last season. According to Pompeo, the answer is better than ever. "It's amazing how much you get done without a penis," Pompeo responded.

"I think a lot of people were really upset about his departure, which is super understandable," she told DeGeneres. "But I think the change is part of the reason why the show goes on so long. I think they get so upset about the change, but change is precisely what everyone always needs to sort of get to the next place."
